Respect fellow Christians

 
I like these verses because they're a reminder that we respect our brothers and sisters in Christ, our Pastors, and our Elders. We may not always agree with one another, especially about earthly things, but we need to remember this life is temporary.
     We need to stay focused on what's important and why we're here. The world should see us united in one cause, loving one another despite our differences.
     I just really feel that now more than ever, we need to positive, compassionate image-bearers. I feel a sense that the last line, "Be at peace among yourselves" is extremely important.

We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you 
and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and 
to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. 
Be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 ESV

*********
Please join me this week in praying that we remember to treat one another with respect. During this time of incredible divisiveness, when it's so easy to get angry with those who have opposing viewpoints, we have to remember, that no matter what, we are all brothers and sisters. Our goal here is to bring the lost to know Christ. We can't do that without showing respect to everyone we meet.
